Need an idea for an orientation, training, retreat, or just a simple day of outdoor high ropes adventure? The Challenge Course at UCA is available to anyone (All UCA and Non UCA Groups) through group reservations!
Some might describe it as a cross between an Escape Room and American Ninja Warrior. Challenge courses are designed to require excellent communication and everyone’s strengths to complete obstacles.
Our facility includes:
- 10 obstacle High Static Team Course
- 4 stand alone High Ropes Challenges
- 17 Low Team Challenges
- 2 Outdoor Climbing Walls
- 2 Dual Ziplines
Types of activities:
Team Building
Campus Recreation aims to provide everyone with a learning environment that can help address many of the personal and group obstacles that we experience in everyday life such as; commitment, critical thought, risk assessment, open mindedness, tolerance, confidence, and the expansion of the comfort zone.
The challenge course staff can structure activities to promote communication, inclusion, fellowship, problem solving skills, and leadership development.
“High” and “Low Challenges” structured within 4-8 hour reservations are ideal for team building scenarios.
Recreation
Just want to have fun? We’ve got you covered! The challenge course staff can structure activities on elements like the Climbing Walls, Ziplines, a Giant Swing that promote constructive play, personal challenge, expansion of the comfort zone, and self discovery.
Purely “recreational” reservations typically occur within 2-4 hour time frames depending on the size of the group.
